Summary

Pot-culture experiments were made with the rice variety IR-8 on a sandy clay loam soil to study the relative efficiency of urea, urea treated with nitrification inhibitors N-Serve and AM, AM-fertilizer, and slow-release nitrogen fertilizers IBDTJ, oxamide and N-enriched coal. N-enriched coal supplied very little nitrogen to rice and gave no more yield than the control. All other materials were superior to urea. Largest yield of rough rice and nitrogen uptake by rice was obtained with IBDU and AM-fertilizer. Compared with untreated urea IBDU, oxamide, AM-fertilizer and urea treated with N-Serve or AM left larger amounts of mineral-nitrogen in the soil after the harvest. In the case of nitrification inhibitors residual ammoniacal-nitrogen was more at the higher rates of inhibitors.
